Baltimore Schools Set Performance Goals
Overview
Every school system needs clear goals. However, these goals must be realistic. While educational institutions should have a roadmap for success, expectations can sometimes become unrealistic. This issue is apparent in Baltimore Schools and many others across the nation, where goals often appear more like dreams than achievable targets.
Baltimore Schools’ Performance Objectives
Baltimore Schools have outlined eight performance goals. Some are more feasible than others, yet none can be fully achieved due to the human element involved. Schools are staffed and attended by imperfect individuals. While it is essential to maintain high standards, it is also important to recognize that not everyone will succeed at the same level.
Challenging Targets
One of the performance goals for Baltimore County public schools stipulates that by 2012, all students should reach proficiency in core subjects like Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. While students may strive for excellence, it is unrealistic to expect every student to meet this benchmark. Factors such as peer pressure, lack of parental support, family issues, socio-economic challenges, and learning disabilities can impact students' ability to achieve these goals.
Another goal focuses on ESL (English as a Second Language) students, aiming for the same levels of proficiency. This expectation does not account for students who might relocate from abroad and face language barriers.
Aspirations for Teachers
Performance Goal 4 declares that all students should be taught by highly qualified teachers. While this is an admirable aim, the reality is that some educators may feel burnt out, approaching retirement, or facing personal challenges that affect their teaching performance. Stress from life events such as divorce, illness, or relocation can further impact their ability to deliver consistently high-quality education.
Conclusion
While the ambitions set forth by Baltimore Schools are commendable, there needs to be a realistic understanding of the significant effort required to meet these goals. Setting goals that acknowledge the complexities of life and education will be more beneficial and encouraging for students and teachers alike.
